The threshold is “extremely/very confident”, so I’m sure some of the remaining 45% were still affirmative, but less confident. Still pretty telling though.

Belgian-Israeli businessman Ehud Arye Laniado, founder of Omega Diamonds, suffered a fatal heart attack while undergoing injections intended to enlarge his penis.

…

However, prosecutors later downgraded the charges to failure to assist a person in danger, drug-related offences, and practising medicine without a licence.

Call me paranoid, but I’d like anyone giving me penis injections to be licensed to practice medicine.

Yeah the Rs were determined to make it as bad as they could so they could point at it later and say how bad it was.

I thought it was going to end with him finding out she died in a car crash on prom night in the 50s.

The article males a big deal about officials not being able to identify the mooninites, but I’m much more concerned that they weren’t able to identify an explosive device.

Literal enshittification.

Someone needs to check his house for abandoned dogs.

Trump surmised: Yes, we might have our internal squabbles, but I am bringing tough love because we are all in this together. We are the standard bearers of western civilisation. We must resist the barbarian hordes. We must save the white man.

The ageing president, who in 2024 complained, “We got a lot of bad genes in our country right now,” told the World Economic Forum that he was “derived from Europe”, namely: “100% Scotland, my mother; 100% German, my father. And we believe deeply in the bonds we share with Europe as a civilisation.” Trump speaking in front of a US flag. Speak hysterically and carry a big stick: Trump’s foreign policy threats Read more

He lamented that “certain places in Europe are not even recognisable, frankly, any more”, blaming culprits that included “unchecked mass migration”. Trump said: “It’s horrible what they’re doing to themselves. They’re destroying themselves, these beautiful, beautiful places. We want strong allies, not seriously weakened ones.”

What came next was pure racism…

That wasn’t the pure racism part?

That cat is not happy about being put there for the photo shoot.

I would love to see something set in Cahokia. It seems like we almost never get representations of pre-columbian North America. Especially urban settings like Cahokia, which was more populated than London at its height.

To give you another way to move around the room. You can see dogs practice this sometimes.

I think the issue here is you are reading

Looks like it’s a YouGov survey, and the article cites a second YouGov survey as corroboration, so I’m not sure how scientifically rigorous this is.

Looks like it’s a <any firm> survey, and the article cites a second <the same firm> survey as corroboration, so I’m not sure how scientifically rigorous this is.

My issue is with it being YouGov specifically, not that both were from the same source. Then I looked at the PDFs themselves to confirm they were opt-in web surveys before adding my edit.

Personally I do think he’s guilty and would love it if 71% think he was at least complicit.

Not really interested in taking this further though. Enjoy your day.

Calling looking at the methodology and questioning its voracity “science denial” is wild.

YouGov is self selecting. I’m sure they do true random polling in some capacity too, but both linked studies said they were web surveys of YouGov users selected bases on their profile demographics to be a representative group.

My issue is that by the pool only being YouGov users, just balancing on ideology is not the same as random sampling.

Not claiming to be a data scientist here, just reading the study and applying some healthy skepticism.

If I’m wrong and the methods are sound then great, I would be happy to believe that that many Americans actually believe that.

A stunning new poll shows a whopping 71 percent of Americans say President Donald Trump knew about former pal and currently deceased Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes against underage girls — and a wide plurality say he was “involved in” those crimes.

So that’s 71% that said he broke the law and contributed in some way to the abuse whether by direct action or by not reporting what he knew.

That’s actually really high. It would be tough to get 71% of Americans to agree on what day of the week it is.

Edit: Looks like it’s a YouGov survey, and the article cites a second YouGov survey as corroboration, so I’m not sure how scientifically rigorous this is.

“… [T]here’s the right way to do this. And this doesn’t look like the right way to a lot of people.”

I’m not sure there is.

ICE’s aggressive tactics are dominating the news and obscuring the White House’s work on cost-of-living issues that congressional Republicans, Trump and his team see as more important.
